The Marlins acquired two more pitchers who ended up starting a lot of games for the Fish thanks to their injury problems.
Since the Miami Marlins traded a few pitchers of interest in the offseason, they were forced to acquire a few more as a result. They got the lower end of the deal pitching-wise in grabbing Dan Haren in the Los Angeles Dodgers trade that also netted Dee Gordon and acquiring David Phelps as part of the Martin Prado trade, but both of these players were expected at best to be back-end rotation options.
